Netherlands clinches the spot in Super 10 by winning a thriller

After winning the game against the United Arab Emirates earlier by keeping few overs in spare, Zimbabwe made the task of Netherlands rather tough to qualify for the Super 10 stage. Netherlands needed to up their net run rate above Zimbabwe’s which was already in the plus. If this was not tough then Ireland score mammoth 189 runs, batting first in their 20 overs as they had nothing to lose because they were out of the reckoning already. But on the other hand it also meant that Netherlands needed to chase down 190 runs in just 13.5 overs which can put them above Zimbabwe. But Peter Borren, Stephan Myburgh, Wesley Barresi and later Tom Cooper completed the job in exactly 13.5 balls and Netherlands deservingly qualified for the Super 10. This match will be remembered as one of the best T20I match ever played.
